Default where to buy this thing for a hood

i have a $800 fiberglass hodd for my 83 camaro z28 but it does have the plastic molding stuff that injects the air straight to the engine and the black hole filler things that bolt to the hood dont fit so i wanna know where i could buy the plastic molding stuff that come pre made and stuff and how much would it cost new or used

thanks

A picture of your hood would be helpful so we know "which thingy that goes into what stuff" that you're talking about!

Not to burst your bubble but thats not a $800 dollar hood. That's a factory Z28 hood.

Is it really a glass hood? And did you pay $800 for it, or did it come with the car? Look on ebay for the louvered insert panels.

seal it up with fiberglass and put some stock louvers on there. ive never heard or seen any ram air setup on a 3rd gen like that. get some glass and resin, seal it up on the inside, gently sand it down and buy some louvers from a junkyard that are in good shape. drill the holes and bolt them on.
